To Life: Vanessa's Wedding Surprise

Some families put on a real show like Vanessa's family and friends did for this great surprise wedding performance. If most of our family weren't tone deaf it would have been a blast to do at my daughter's wedding. Most of us just don't have the skill set to pull it off. (OK everyone in my family can stop laughing at imaging what we would have sounded like since only one of us can sing!) But for the family who can sing and has the time to invest in a great show for wedding reception, this has to be tops!

Father Daughter Dance

One important decision you'll need to make is what song to dance with your father.  Every bride and her dad need to give some careful consideration to this choice.  Below are some suggestions.  ITunes or Amazon will let you listen part of the song before you buy it in case you're not familiar with it.
